Happy Mother's day to you too Jo-Anne! Your lilacs look lovely. We have this huge lilac bush (or bushes), but only a small part of them blossomed this year :( The cake your wonderful son made for you looks so pretty...and yummy too!

I love your lilacs! Their gorgeous!! I want to plant some in my garden, but haven't been able to find any in the local nurseries.

I love your blog, your paintings, and your home...they're all so beautiful!

I have a new blog called Secret Garden Cottage. I'm trying to get the word out about it. I would love for you to stop by and check it out. If you like it, I would love for you to become a follower and leave a comment. It would be great if you could add my blog to your blog list (I have your blog on my blog list, too) to help get the word out. I would be so grateful!
